Ah, yas, I remember that well. Becky comes across as too much of a ditz here, as opposed to her original characterization.

Ok, so Wally's bailing for a few weeks. I say that because I expect him to return for the 4-way crossover.

I think the idiots writing this show merged Thinker with Metron for no other reason than to try to make him look like a legitimate threat. The headgear and what looks like a Mobius chair say Metron, alright, but IIRC, the original concept for the Thinker was that he was a little more generic, non-descript, hence the change in appearance.

Breacher (Danny Trejo) doesn't move the meter all that much. Just a standard Trejo character. Meh.

Co-writer Sterling Gates has been with DC for a few years, but I'm not sure if this is his first go doing TV. What does he do? He reboots the Elongated Man, Ralph Dibny, as an ex-cop-turned-PI who wasn't exactly the most honest of cops. Instead of gingold, he gets his powers the same way Hazard & Kil%ore did, via dark matter. Save for the part about being an ex-cop, Dibny comes off as even more of a Plastic Man rip-off. For a fanboy, which Gates is, he doesn't exactly get it right. Translated, since he works for DC, he should've known better.

As it happens, Mayor Bellows isn't exactly a saint, either. Just what we don't need. Corrupt cops in Central City.

And that reminds me. Anyone expecting Peyton List to return as Lisa "Golden Glider" Snart will wait longer, as the idiot producers of Gotham have poached her to be the new Poison Ivy. The idea being that Ivy is, ah, evolving.

This just in. I guess they're going to make Ralph their Plastic Man. Forget Eel O'Brien. At least for now. Not a good idea.

Seriously? Is there anything the producers of Gotham will not ruin?

The Flash "Elongated Journey Into The Night"

I love that Ralph Dibney thinks Plastic Man is a dumb name.

The sneeze and bullet booger were hilarious, as was the precise moment Joe told Barry his girlfriend was pregnant.

Sort of pointless to show cigars if the censors won't let you show them smoking them.

I gotta say, I'm a little surprised at how much I hate Breach. Danny Trejo is NOT an annoying actor. At all. But I was more annoyed by Breach than anyone else he has ever played. Including Enrique on King Of The Hill.

Dude's name is Josh. How big of a badass can he actually be?

Can't believe this is the first time Cisco has learned Gypsy's name. What's so embarrassing about Cynthia anyways?

I didn't realize Thinker had been set up last season.

Speaking of things being set-up, I thought they said in season 1 that Ralph Dibney died in the Particle accelerator breach. That's what's known as a retcon, correct?

"You're the Flash?! I LIKED the Flash! Now I have to HATE the Flash!"

Not sure how smart it was for Barry to reveal his identity to a guy known for blackmail. Just saying.

They gave Ralph a completely different backstory then the one he had back in the Silver Age.
Wish Barry wasn't so quick to reveal his ID to people.
Flash running up Ralph's arm to the helicopter was neat.
But how was Ralph able to hold the helicopter in place?

I didn't find the Vibe, Gypsy, and Breacher plot all that interesting.
It seems Breacher is from the comic books.

"Girls Night Out"Tuesday, November 7, 2017 @ 8 p.m. ET/7 CT on The CW
Having received an ominous threat from her old boss, Amunet, Caitlin fears that her past time as Killer Frost may be back to haunt her.

Was the Weeper the same character from Batman: The Brave and the Bold? Because I can’t imagine they’d give a character that specifically weird name unless, like “Joker: The Vile And The Villainous”, the character had a actual comic book history.

Iris has now gone full 100% Mary-Sue mode now when Felicity Smoak seems like more of a character than you, you have a serious problem.

Seriously, why did she try to get in the middle of a fight between a meta and a powerful drug lord, exposing herself like that? And in the end, the bad guy got away, and the Weeper ran off and got captured.

And now the Thinker is reminding even more of Metron, making me wonder if Devoe is just a cover identity. Might Flash be the first live-action series to feature Darkseid?

I saw a preview of Ralph's new costume; I hope it doesn't take long to give it a little pizzazz. I also don't envision Ralph maintaining a secret identity for long--but maybe I'm being influenced too heavily by his comic-book appearances.

No, I don't think Devoe/Thinker is a human alter-ego for Metron. The writers merged the two together in a way, putting Metron's headgear and Mobius chair in Devoe's hands. Looks lame, to tell you the truth.

"When Harry Met Harry..."Tuesday, November 14, 2017 @ 8 p.m. ET/7 CT on The CW
When collectors of Native American artifacts are attacked by a meta named Mina Chayton who can bring inanimate objects to life, Barry turns to a surprising ally for help.

Black Bison was originally a male Native American who was introduced in Fury of Firestorm back in 1982. Yep, this is another Firestorm enemy given to The Flash, after Killer Frost & Multiplex. Anyway, the original Black Bison was possessed by the vengeful spirit of his grandfather, who'd been murdered. Separated from said spirit, this Bison would actually be a hero.

And, so, we have Mina Chayton, a new character created apparently for this show and the overarching Thinker storyline, as Black Bison. I guess in some small way they want as much eye candy as possible.

The Council of Wells?!? Seriously, this reeks of a Doctor Who parody, and that franchise has never needed an American interpretation. They'd better nominate Tom Cavanagh for an Emmy after this.

The initial segment with Barry & Ralph was comedy gold, but let's also remember that Ralph would ultimately ditch the mask, and go public with his powers. I think we'll see that happen here.
